A very good conversation between the physicist Sean Carroll and The Buddhist Alan Wallace.

I’ve long been quite sympathetic towards the relationship between Buddhism and Science within modernity. The logical conclusion between the two fields of inquiry is non-theism. I don’t have a problem with this per se……

What I’m saying as a Christian Gnostic is that humanity is in a compromised situation and this ‘fallen’ condition precludes our knowing the truth about god. This isn’t an excuse to espouse any theological view; theology has to be premised on coherent thought……

Riffin’ off Scott Preston’s blog post on Neoliberalism. I’ll add a diagram below of Wilber’s quadrant model which depicts the four modes of operation for humanity: the upper left is interior of I; the lower left is interior of we; the upper right is exterior of I, and the lower right is exterior of we. So individuals consciousness, collective interiors ( shared consciousness), exteriors living spaces of the individual and collective life systems of cultures.

I’d like to unpack this from a Christian Gnostic perspective; although admittedly, an alternative one at that and admittedly one which is a tad clumsy. Now it may be that this universe is inherently damned and irredeemable from this cosmologies perspective, but here I’m going to offer a Tantric take on Christian Gnosticism. The basic idea of Tantra is to take that which is considered vile and evil and flip it upside down and work with those energies for the end-goal of enlightenment. Sex was generally held to be sinful in religious antiquity but the Tantras’ turned this upside down and converted the energies towards enlightenment, and I think the same idea can be implemented upon culture. And this is is what I think The Sabbatean/Frankist Gnostics are getting at and are up to when they say the culture has to be made evil to attain enlightenment. It is the same idea, I think, but implemented on the cultural level via the notion of a group of people teaching humanity to learn about perfection; yes, that would be Judaic ideology in general, that’s why the Jews were chosen; there are utilities and purpose to it and it wasn’t about ethnicity per se.

Now, I’m not saying this is fact but offering up a hypothetical that tries to make sense of all this madness. Maybe The Plemora, Sofia and The Kristo’s will use The Demiurge to teach humanity the efficacy of goodness over evil? Because certainly these NeoLiberals from The Chicago School who were Jewish and perhaps knew of these things knew they had to make society evil which would lead to the devastation of nature; and this, indeed, is what neoliberalism has done — as Mr. Preston’s blog post points out. But the main point for these Jews and for us is to teach us what evil looks like so we can learn from it and overcome it.

We can see that neoliberalism ushered in a culture of me first narcissism inculcated especially within the entertainment and sports complex; it’s a culture of me first hedonism where city streets are laden with garbage; where we practice alienation by everyone exploiting everyone in every imaginable way in a Darwinian food fight for the survival of the fittest over who can have the most money earned by the most egregious means possible. This is a mafia ethos–my power drive of the ego which will only extend empathy to my blood kin and society and nature be damned! And this is exactly what’s happening under this system. Trump encapsulates this ethos and IMO, it’s no mere coincidence that his administration is the most Jewish in history.

Now, where is this all heading? A new Integral Age? The evacuation via light photon processes interacting with human DNA to ‘lift’ some via ascension into the next dimension and this earth be damned?

These are the two hypothesis of what’s happening here from an alternative spiritual perspective. Of course, the wild card here is 3-dimensional players such as The Anunnaki and The Lemurian’s; what their role and influence in these shenanigans are definitely hard to gauge…

I’ve been ranting against The Frankfurt Schools Marxist Multiculturalism over the past month and there is an important caveat which needs to be understood. We are right to criticize postmodernisms deficiencies as far as its falling into relativism but it’s a serious error to dismiss what the postmodernists got right: the deconstruction of archaic myth.

The solution to the deficiency of late post-modernity is not to regress back into archaic mythological modes of cognition. That would be invoking pre-rational insanity to once again take the reigns of power i.e. the neocons as one example………….

What we are looking for and should be aiming for is a POST-post modernity; one which understands that there are accurate truth claims notwithstanding the myth of the given (post-modernities deconstruction of modernity)and that religiosity does have a proper function in a post-post-modern culture–it’s simply not a literal religious interpretation of an archaic book!

Okay, once in a while I wax Integral!

The way past the confusion of late post-modernity is to keep the arrow moving to the right and not turn it around and aim it back to the premodern, yet that is what many are attempting to do. And BTW: the picture on the right is not accurate or is only accurate in depicting late postmodernity.

And No, Molyneux, the solution to the welfare state is not archaic notions of charity! Damn it! Fucking wake up!

Justin Trudeau says Assad should be removed from power by foreign nations! What the fuck! Okay, then, by the somewhat same logic I can then say Trudeau should be removed from power because he’s not qualified to run the country as a high school drama teacher! And by his logic, I SHOULD be able to remove him because I think he’s not qualified!

How did we get to this? How did we get to a place wherein foreign nations get to dictate by force who governs other countries especially when they are not directly involved in aggressive acts of war against another country. By this measure, we should be attacking Saudi Arabia for its aggressive war against Yemen!

Jian got punk’ed by The Frankfurt School Marxist’s but still wants to sing from their playbook! The fact of the matter is that until Israel, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Mexico and countless other countries start reciprocating person per person in free and protected human rights within the exchange of persons then it’s all still manipulative bullshit brought to you by The Rockefeller, Rothschild legacy. And no, I’m not an alt-righter; but rather a pro truther devoid of bullshit! And please don’t compartmentalize this issue: what’s come from mass immigration for corporations, banks, oil companies, and The Greater Israel Project is massive inflation; unaffordable cities; unbreathable air; a lifetime of debt bondage; the reduction of a human being to wallet status; the dismembering of truth into relative insanities; the transfer of the ‘wealth of the commons’ into the hands of about 6000 oligarchs; a society premised on a Social Darwinist feeding frenzy wherein the majority now get a lifetime of gig work with The Hunger Games as retirement; not to mention the alienation of the person which the artist known as Jian correctly diagnoses.

There is really only one party in Canada. The Liberals are now Illiberal and The Conservatives don’t conserve or practice conservation; the fact of the matter is they both employ and enact neoliberal economics which I’ve argued is a type of economic fascism.

So where is the opposition to this monoculture? Ah, yes, within the controlled opposition of the NDP with its Frankfurt School Leap Manifesto! This is, of course, the duopoly playbook of The Chicago School of Economics, combined with the cultural aspects of The Frankfurt School, and low and behold, when we analyze society from this lens we see that this is exactly what western culture looks like today and I argue on this site that that is no mere coincidence; and yes, this society now combines the worst elements of right and left-wing ideology! That is to say, Marxism without the ‘good parts’ and capitalism without liberty or a surveillance culture premised on the notion of corporate empire.

To be sure, there are a few propositions within the Manifesto that are reasonably sound such as some type of Guaranteed Income, but this would need to be enacted with the dismantling of the social welfare bureaucracy and we all know this will never happen; not to mention that any type of Guaranteed Income has to be implemented with sound ecological practices and education which teaches the best aspects of human potential–and we all know this will never happen, either.

This Manifesto is in denial about energy and suffers from magical thinking about the relationship between energy and economy. The fact of the matter is that there is not even 1- 500 person town in Canada that exists wherein all people use clean non-polluting high tech energies, yet we are told the whole country will somehow be able to enact this ethos! I say show me the money first! Let’s see this ‘test town’! And I’m not talking about Lasqueti Island; it would have to be far more technical than that and not premised on only the wealthy having access to land and tech.

The biggest flaw in this Manifesto is the idea that the capitalists are simply going to lay down and agree to give up their largely unmerited wealth garnered from the global casino in which they’ve enacted via neoliberalism. Nope, The Global Commons Society is a far more realistic way forward as it captures the essence of the issue which is scale combined with giving as many people as much choice as possible. The fact of the matter is that capitalism became unsustainable sometime around 1950 or when about 2-billion people bought into the system, and in fact, this is when this particular system should have been capped.
